I'd be glad if people were this concerned over a mare of mine and at least they know they have lots of people watching over her :) and at least we know there is a vet on hand and plenty of people about to keep an eye on her. Got to admit at first it seemed they were on their own!!

The "expert" comment has just made me realise that we've actually had a thread go for a whole 15 pages before a snide comment appeared!! Now that's gotta be an HHO record!
 
Having watched the girl who has been attending, she looks to me a if she knows just what she's doing. She doesn't seem that concerned, and appears to be going about her other work, whilst popping back to look at the foal, every few minutes.

The mare was obviously in discomfort, which could well have been uterine contractions, stimulated by milk flow. She seems far more settled now.

I rather liked the way that the foal thought it would try a little canter, went around the mare and fell over. It thought about getting up, and then obviously thought "Sod it, I think I'll stay right where I am"!!

The mare looks fine, and I'm sure that she will be.

This was posted on their face book page an hour ago :)
Arabians Fanali is exhausted! She has had a full dose of banamine, and I have spoken with the vet (who is watching the cam) and he said that as long as she is not rolling and thrashing that I should let her rest. She was in labor for over 24 hours and is pretty tired! The wind is kicking up here and I hope to finish getting tha...t barn cleaned up and everything closed up again here shortly.

Just watched a bit. The mare seems to be walking away from the foal at every opportunity.
Is this the first sign of a possible rejection?
I've been spoiled in the past and every foal I have known has been excepted so was just wondering???
 
She is in the box accross the corridor though she looks a totally different color. She was up and stamping at the foal again a few mins ago.
 
She will prob be a good mum once she isn't in so much pain. She's had a really hard time blesss her and she's still in some discomfort. Hopefully she will be a lot better tomorrow :)
